About the Magazine
Founded in 2007 | United States
While we started as an annual print edition, in 2020, we transitioned to publishing quarterly online issues only and no longer publish print editions. Our readership has increased exponentially, and we now have international visibility. We welcome submissions from a diverse range of writers, including voices and perspectives that have historically been underrepresented in the literary sphere. We consider previously unpublished stories, creative nonfiction, poems, and ten-minute plays by writers wherever they reside. Westchester authors are spotlighted in every issue, but it is not necessary to have a Westchester connection to submit work to us.
Masthead
We currently list only main editors, more will be added later! If you are an editor, you can edit your masthead in our admin panel :)
